Tickets from a friend sent me to see Belgian-born, Brooklyn-based Trixie Whitley play at De Brakke Grond last night. Although I had never heard her music or been to the venue, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The hall of De Brakke Grond was an intimate setting for the concert and Trixie Whitley played (mostly) solo, with minimal piano or guitar chords giving a frame to her impressive vocals. The whole band plays tonight at Paradiso.
